Ranked #656 - Men's Hiking and Climbing Pants
April 8, 2009
Unfortunately, they obviously have an issue with the built in belt breaking far before the pants are shredded. I climb sandstone and limestone 24/7, the material is the toughest climbing pant out there in terms of putting up with climbing abuse, however the belts all break and this is commonly reported on reviews. My solution was to have my sister-in-law (thank god I know someone who sews, because no one in this household can) sew in addition belt loops (one is already on the pant) so I can use a belt with them. Also, more sad news for those of us who are skinny and tall. They no longer do the standard 33" inseam, now a "small" is quite wide and short, to fit where America is heading. I realize us skinny and fit climbing dudes are obviously not their most profitable market, despite this being the best climbing pant out there in my opinion. I still cannot find a better replacement, so still worth buying at the moment.
